Low-Doc & Credit Impaired Loan

Low doc home loans, otherwise known as lite doc, or alt doc loans, offer you a home loan option if you’re self-employed. Rather than having to provide payslips, you can usually self-certify your income by providing statements from your accountant, recent Business Activity Statements, or a self-signed income declaration form.

Having bad credit shouldn’t stop you from getting a home loan and owning your own home or investment property. Due to uncontrollable life events, such as suddenly losing your job, going through a separation or divorce, or experiencing a sudden illness, you may find it difficult to keep up with your financial commitments.
